I'll be loading a keyboard into my 06 Expedition, and it costs more than my vehicle is worth!
I hope I'm as happy with the Genos when it has 214,000 miles on it.

or when you make $214000.00 with it..

Have a fun night Don - I know you will "rock out" w/the "Big G"! Enjoy!

You are missing the point. The prices are for comparison purposes-two are from the same store and one from Frank since Sweetwater does not sell the SD9. The Genos is at least $1800 more than the other 2. So it is clear that when someone says it is overpriced that there is ample evidence to support that fact. Anyone can indeed spend money on whatever they want.

Bill you are not going to convince Donny

People pay $15 a pack for cigarettes...
Hundreds on lottery tickets..
Go Out to eat 2,3x a day, 200.00 Broadway shows,
150.00 concerts. Baseball games, Football games...Disney land vacation, cruises..
50.00 to get your nails done.. It never ends...
Is it overpriced?... Or is it worth the pleasure?

Money didn’t really come into the equation with my decision in purchasing the sx900. I sold over $6k’s worth of keyboards and replaced them with 2 ( sx900 and the p121 ) which ended up costing less than half.
Didn’t need the extra knobs, sliders, keys, etc that the Genos had to offer. Operating system appears to be pretty much the same.
Use piano sound for melody for probably 90% of what I play, so aftertouch not that important.

If I’d had the opportunity of picking up a really good second hand one , with a warranty thru one of the stores, ( chance of that , big fat zero) I probably would have been tempted,
but paying well over double the price of the sx900, plus having to add the price of a good set of speakers, value wise, just didn’t add up.

Why do people assume Genos is not worth the price?

Because it ISN'T worth the price if it's not worth it to THEM. BTW, I haven't really heard anyone 'bash' it in this thread, only state their opinion of why they bought what they bought. I DO remember YOU doing a little GENOS-bashing in the early days BEFORE YOU BOUGHT ONE (after first trying everything else). I also remember you bashing anything with more than 61 keys or without internal speakers. So I guess we've had a change of heart about that too? Also, isn't it a little presumptuous to assume that people bash the Genos because they can't afford it. How would you know what they can and can not afford? And maybe some people are more responsible about their finances than others. One last thing; I didn't hear anyone in this thread say that 'mine is better than yours'; where did that come from? Might be a good idea to READ what's posted, ABSORB what you've read, and THINK before posting a response. Other than that......

chas

Boy are you asking the wrong guy
Never bought a pack of cigs.. I was never that dumb
Don't buy lottery tickets.
Only go out to eat once or twice a day
Don't go to broadway shows, concerts, cruises, baseball or football games, nor Disney anything... and I don't take vacations ( just send my wife)

I live my life the way I do because I am content.. I am not looking for anything (nothing is missing)

And most important, no need to assume Genos is not worth the.. cost.

I know it

Do I like it sure, just would not buy one new at any price.. I will wait till you throw it out the window... Unless I get tired following you on the Parkway
